CHILION AFCP (AFCP Fire Control Patch) — brand Flourguard, is CHILION's core product. Simply put, it is a 2mm-thick patch that sticks inside electrical equipment and automatically releases fire suppressant when temperature reaches 140°C.
The technical principle is straightforward: fluorine shield agent is micro-encapsulated and mixed into a flexible substrate to form the patch. At room temperature, capsules remain stable and leak-free. When temperature hits approx. 140°C (tolerance ±10°C), the capsule walls rupture and the agent is automatically released. Pure physical mechanism — no power, no sensors, no controllers needed. One patch is a complete self-contained fire suppression system.
The key difference from traditional fire solutions: cabinet-based gas systems require smoke detection → fire confirmation → system activation, creating a time window large enough for fire to spread. AFCP patches stick directly next to the heat source — they activate the moment temperature rises, with no intermediate steps.
Each standard patch covers approximately 0.6m³ of enclosed space. 2mm thin, adhesive backing — sticks on without taking up space or altering equipment structure. After activation, the housing is retained — only the internal core needs replacement. Replaceable-core design keeps maintenance costs low.
Applications: distribution cabinets, switchgear, energy storage battery compartments, data center server cabinets, EV charging stations — any electrical equipment with confined space benefits from AFCP protection.
